U.S. Lawn Mower Racing Association

U.S. Lawn Mower Racing Association
Took over300 shots today during my first experience with the USLMRA (U.S. Lawn Mower Racing Association) at their inaugural U.S. Open (championships), just 45 minutes away at the Delaware County Fairgrounds here in Ohio. Had a chance to talk to this driver after he took a spill around the first turn. You can view quite a few more pictures from the event here. Would you have the courage to race lawn mowers?

    I used to take my dad’s old racing lawn mower for a spin around our farm. I wonder if he still has it…
